Jeff Foster's journey began with a deep dive into astrophysics, but it was a profound period of depression and illness that led him to an intensive, years-long spiritual search. This quest culminated not in a future awakening, but in the clear seeing of inherent Oneness, transforming his perception of life into one of spontaneous joy and aliveness. Foster now writes and speaks about 'nonduality,' which he terms 'the utterly, utterly obvious.' Through his meetings and retreats, delivered with humor and compassion, he directly addresses the frustrations of spiritual seeking, illuminating the nature of mind and the Clarity at the core of all existence, revealing an awakening that is always already present.
Drawn from two years' worth of journal entries and Facebook posts, the author presents a compilation of prose and poetry intended to guide the reader in a year-long period of building inner happiness and contentment.
So much of our lives are spent running—from pain, from vulnerability, and from everyday struggle. Jeff Foster understands that sense of pursuit. After years of depression and illness, he came to realize that what he had been seeking had been available to him all along—he needed only to shed his resistance and step into the limitless ocean of the present moment. In Jeff’s words, "The armor we wear to protect ourselves from the full experience of life does not really protect us—it just keeps us comfortably numb." In The Deepest Acceptance, Jeff provides readers with a series of insights intended to help strip away that armor and embrace life now, as it is and as you are. This warm, humorous, and candid offering invites us to stop trying to "do" acceptance and start falling in love with "what has already been allowed."
The Joy of True Meditation gathers together nearly 50 of Jeff Foster's soothing, touching, provocative and encouraging essays and poetic reflections on life, love, our true nature, and the courageous journey towards wild self-acceptance.
A new teacher writes lucidly from his own awakened state to show the way out of spiritual seeking and into the acceptance of "all this, here and now."
